good man for 5 weeks.. but you shouldn't use grandma's you need to use blackstrap

get some side lighting too

just rotate your lighting alot. if you do that you can produce this..

DAMN! Those are fuckin nugz my good sir. Ya i try to rotate her, but i lst'd and ky box is only 40" or so tall, and my plant stopped streatching about 2 or 3" away from my lights, and kinda started growing around the lights, if you will, so i vant rotate too much, if at all. I now have 200 total watts running between 9 cfl's and an led panel so with about two weeks left, i assume. There hasnt been enough calyx swelling for my liking. So i added some more lights, and bought some flowering food for her. I guess we will see. Pic update

She looks good I def. recommend a bit more light though she'll appreciate it See if you get one or two bulbs on the sides, surround it with light.

Check my thread out too, 2 girls 1 cup https://www.rollitup.org/cfl-fluorescent-lighting/597152-2-girls-1-cup-day.html

I just added 4 more 23w cfls today, thats a total of 9 lights, bit i dont have the means to get stable side lighting in there at this point, thats why i defoliated so much, i wanted some light to creep into the bottom canopy. I chopped off about 4 or 5 small branches from the bottom about 3 weeks ago cause tuey didnt streatch with the rest of them.

I also added some thermo pan. Its like mylar cardboard for residentual HVAC, but it is helping a LOT with keeping even more light in than before! ¦)

Nice, it will def help! (the reflectiveness)

If you can't really angle your lights on the sides try to hang them from the top about halfway to plantheight that way the midsection gets lit up too

Ya i think side lighting isnt an option this time around. I didnt disign my box for it and i dont want to rip it all apart to add lights, i just 'y' adaptered the new ones in there. I think next time will be a SCRoG grow.

Thanks for the replies. Im really stoked on how this grow turned out. With all supplies, nost were free (box and other things), i only spent a total of maybe $50 on lights, soil, etc. Pretty good success, but next grow in march i know what not to do. And i will be flowering with my 400w MH. Im all about quality and MH is supposed to support better trichome growth. Plus, i got a ballast for $5 from the thift shop next to me!! Couldnt beat that. Ill probably just use a home depot bulb. I think it should do ok.
